Chad Bell

Chad Bell, an active hunter, outdoorsman, fisherman and conservationist, is a student of the outdoor discipline and has had a passion for the outdoors since the age of fifteen when he was taken on his first whitetail hunt. Chad has had a very successful 24 years in the woods hunting whitetails, waterfowl, upland birds, and predators. He looks forward to the fall every year and impatiently awaits the opening of any hunting season. In the last 4 years he has started to hone his skills in the spring turkey woods. He thoroughly enjoys calling and learning the best tactics to make him successful in the field.

Chad serves on several pro staffs and pro teams, including Sitka Gear, Rocky Mountain Athlete, GORE™ OPTIFADE™, GORE™ Hunting & Waterfowl Tech, and Wolf Distributors. Chad always strives to be an example of an ethical outdoorsman and says, “Integrity is something that you can’t get back once you cross it off your resume.”

Vanishing Paradise was launched in 2009 by Ducks Unlimited and National Wildlife Federation to advocate for restoration of the Mississippi River Delta by nationalizing the issue.

The Vanishing Paradise team remains committed to restoring the Mississippi River Delta, and since the 2010 Gulf oil disaster, we have expanded our attention to advocate for restoration of other critical habitat along the Gulf Coast.
